Emergency notifications (SPS) 2020-06-05
G/SPS/N/NZL/630

Description

New Zealand's new import health standard Equids (issued 5 September 2019). New Zealand was in the process of transitioning import requirements from the existing IHS Horses to this new IHS Equids. This IHS will be suspended as there is currently no trade under this standard. This will allow time to undertake an updated risk assessment and consult on risk management measures for piroplasmosis. In the meantime an urgent amendment has been made to the IHS Horses.
